So when does something stop being a rifle and then become artillery.....?
In 1978 I was told by my grand dad that the secret to rifle accuracy is, a quality bullet, fired down a quality barrel..... How has that changed?

When I found out the guy made the bullets himself on a lathe, that's when a bit of wee came out for me!

Speaking of tracer, I'm hoping to get some tracer loaded up for the Mosina ready for Sunday morning, if I get time tomorrow night. Don't forget that I use 30 cal bullets of which there's plenty of tracer for!

Still sat on around 200 54r Hungarian military tracer rounds, saving them for a rainy day! ;)

Er, oomanski, we don't think your glorious plan to shoot sparks up into the clouds and dry up the rain is really going to work....

It sounded better than saying I'm saving them for the Great Day when the world goes to Hell in a handcart!!! :p
